Three years ago, our family was blessed with twin girls.  Jenna and Jaden entered the world weighing just over 4 pounds each.  They were small, but healthy (see The Difference Two Years Make for additional photos).  They continue to be beautiful angels.

Jenna and Jaden bring me so much joy.  My daughter, Brooke, is a wonderful person and mother.  I am so thankful to be blessed with her and two beautiful granddaughters.

On Saturday, we had a birthday party and the twins (as well as the guests) had loads of fun.  It was a joy to see the excitement in their eyes and watch them rip open their birthday gifts.

They are a handful and Jenna has been caught trying to impersonate her sister at times and when in trouble will say, "I not Jenna, I Jaden".  Brooke better watch these two, I have a feeling the old "switch a roo" will be used more and more the older they become.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENNA & JADEN!  I love you both.  Love, GG.

Hey Ren,
Great pics!!! We so enjoy being a part of Jenna & Jaden's life! Tommy, Desmond, Ryan and I loved being able to be there and watch the girl's rip through those presents! Brooke is such a great mom and we are proud of her too.
Kay,
Thanks. I'm glad you all were able to make it to the party. Boss wore Thade out while you were here :) The twins did rip through the presents, didn't they? How long did it take, do you think? Jackson had fun playing with Desmond and Ryan. It was good for everyone to get together.
Brooke is a good mom and daughter. She's my heart :)
I love you guys.
